Coarse flakes of salt on a perfectly chewy crust. Simple, satisfying, and one of the most underrated bagels in the case.

✦  Best enjoyed?  Toast until the coarse salt gets warm and the cut sides turn golden. Spread with good butter that melts into the warm crumb, top with cream cheese and a thin slice of ripe tomato, or build a classic breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and sharp cheddar and enjoy how the salt crust seasons the entire bagel from the outside in.
